Now a Category One Hurricane
500 AM AST FRI OCT 07 2011 ...PHILIPPE MOVING A LITTLE FASTER TOWARD THE EAST-NORTHEAST...
The busy Atlantic Hurricane Season shows no signs of slowing down, as another tropical cyclone, TD-17, forms about 290 miles South of Cape Verde Islands. These storms tend to stay around for a long time and potentially grow in strength, since they have plenty of warm ocean waters in their path. Forming very early Saturday morning, September 24th, the depression will undoubtedly become Tropical Storm Philippe. We will continue to monitor major events associated with this storm.
PHILIPPE IS MOVING TOWARD THE EAST-NORTHEAST NEAR 17 MPH...28 KM/H...AND THIS MOTION SHOULD CONTINUE TODAY WITH A TURN BACK TOWARD THE NORTHEAST ON SATURDAY.
